Thermo Electron has strengthened its position in high-sensitivity bioanalysis with the introduction of FAIMS as an option for its TSQ Quantum triple quadrupole mass spectrometers.
The robust, powerful and cost-effective system is ideally suited for general proteomics and metabolism applications, offering a superior alternative to Q-TOF systems.
Featuring high resolution and excellent accurate mass capabilities, this hybrid LC-MS system achieves high throughput label-free profiling for differential expression while the MSn capability makes the instrument ideal for small molecule characterisation and structural elucidation.
The LTQ Orbitrap Discovery is a highly sensitive system with up to 30K resolution power and an exceptional scan rate, enabling the separation of trace level, isobaric analytes.
The new Thermo Scientific LTQ Orbitrap XL is the ultimate protein identification and biomarker discovery platform featuring unsurpassed sensitivity in MS and MSn, rapid scan rate, high mass accuracy and up to 100K resolution power.
Based on the highly successful LTQ Orbitrap platform, this instrument provides unrivalled performance and flexibility.
The LTQ Orbitrap XL features the new HCD octapole collision cell for increased flexibility in MS/MS fragmentation applications including iTRAQ-based peptide quantitation, PTM analysis, de novo sequencing and metabolomics research.
This proteomics platform is also compatible with, and upgradeable to use the Electron Transfer Dissociation (ETD) option for controlled dissociation of peptides and proteins, making this instrument indispensable for advanced proteomics research.
